Teenage superstar WILL be Liverpool's next French signing

It's already clear who will be Liverpool's next French arrival after Jeremy Jacquet.

Could there be a French revolution on the horizon at Anfield?

Hugo Ekitike is the heartthrob at Liverpool right now. He is winning over every fan and single-handedly becoming THE player to watch in the Premier League.

Both prolific and just extremely technically gifted, Ekitike is the kind of player you can't take your eyes off.

He's exactly everything you want in a striker. He links-up play, he scores goals, takes players on, runs in behind defences. There's just so much power to his arsenal, it's impossible to stop him.

Now he's being followed by Jacquet. Another interesting and unique defender, who has insane physical qualities combined with extreme intelligence and technical ability.

Together they could be the beginning of a new French frontier.

We've already seen a less successful French invasion at Anfield under Gerard Houllier. But that was different. French football was in a different place.

Right now, France is where to look for the biggest and brightest talents.

Their national team pool makes any other international manager hot with envy. France can boast a level of talent like no other and that's why is simply inevitable that Liverpool will be back in the market for Frenchmen soon.

The next one is obvious, too?

Anfield Watch understands Liverpool are huge admirers of Ayyoubb Bouaddi of Lille. He's a French U21 international who at just 18-years-old already has 80 appearances for Lille's first-team.

That's an insane amount of experience for a young midfielder and Liverpool are in need of midfielders. Curtis Jones could leave the club in the summer, he was close to leaving in January.

Wataru Endo doesn't have a long-term future at Anfield either.

And contract negotiations with Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai are both stalling. Meanwhile, only tentative talks have begun with Alexis Mac Allister.

Given all of them face uncertain futures someone of Bouaddi's profile makes sense. He's a very similar player to Gravenberch in the way he carries the ball and he covers a lot of distances.

Bouaddi's also extremely technically gifted and reads the game very well. Among U21 players in Europe's top five leagues, he has averaged the most successful defensive actions (9. per 90 minutes) in the last calendar year.

Liverpool are in need of a player like that, who can contribute a lot more defensively. That's why it just feels clear that after Jacquet, Bouaddi will be next. He is the perfect signing for the Reds.
